Monsters: Evolving from Titans to Ancient Gods.

Now that the possibility of a ceasefire has been seen, Ace will naturally not let this glimmer of hope disappear.

This level of technology is nothing to the Land of Light, but they are willing to pay the price to bring about a complete ceasefire between two powerful civilizations.

To reiterate, if possible, the Land of Light would not stand idly by and watch its kingdom fall into crisis.

Even if they win the battle, the warriors will not feel any joy as they watch the kingdom be destroyed.

Ace's firm reply brought Tartarus to his senses, who knew how much time would be wasted if the kingdom had to develop those devices on short notice.

The kingdom certainly had the ability to develop those technologies, but for a long time, all technological research revolved around the core, without focusing on unimportant aspects.

While it's possible to develop it now, it would inevitably take some time.

At this moment, Tartarus selectively ignored the idea that he had only come to give face and transformed into a person who sincerely wanted to negotiate.

Facing the people of the Land of Light, he slowly stood up, walked to their side, and extended his palm towards them. "Then, our conflict is temporarily over."

"I hope our cooperation will go smoothly."

Tartarus laughed for once, his voice sounding more relaxed. For him, nothing was more important than seeing hope of resolving the core of the kingdom.

Now that the dawn is in sight, and we don't have to risk our soldiers' lives to seize it, it couldn't be better.

Behind him, the people from the kingdom also stood up, most of them showing excitement. Their gazes toward the people of the Kingdom of Light were no longer hostile, but rather fervent.

“We also hope that the kingdom can successfully overcome this crisis.” The people of the Land of Light also stood up, and Ultraman calmly extended his hand to Tartarus: “So that we no longer need to sacrifice for each other.”

However, just as the two representatives of the Land of Light and the Kingdom clasped hands, Longbo's gaze drifted towards the woman from the Kingdom.

In Longbo's eyes, although the woman was also smiling, she exuded a strong sense of anxiety. She seized the moment when everyone breathed a sigh of relief and used special means to silently convey a rather urgent message.

She sensed that Diablo might really act recklessly, so when she was certain that the Kingdom and the Kingdom of Light would cease their conflict, she immediately issued a warning.

In any case, we must not let Diablo ruin this cooperation.

Although the Kingdom already knows the plan, without the help of the Kingdom of Light, no one knows whether the Kingdom can carry it out smoothly, or how long it will take.

In a flash, Longbo's eyes discerned the message: "Things have changed, don't act rashly!"

"... "

Instantly, Longbo sensed something was wrong. He turned his head to the side, his gaze traversing the distant void, taking in the entire scene of the main universe of the Land of Light.

Under Longbo's watchful eye, a large number of soldiers from the Kingdom of Ablusot gathered on the outskirts of the Land of Light. Led by Diablo, who had two horns on his head, they launched a surprise attack on the Land of Light, attempting to take advantage of its vulnerability.

Longbo could even clearly see the murderous intent emanating from Diablo and the sheer number of soldiers behind him.

Seeing this, Longbo did not hesitate at all. He remained seated on the central stone throne, but his will had already extended to the World Tree.

The fluctuations of time and space spread, reaching them the instant their hands touched, causing them to instinctively turn their heads to look.

Looking up, the World Tree, towering in another dimension, shimmered with a hazy light. The power of spacetime spread, and the eerie fluctuations made everyone serious.

A verdant vine hangs down from the branches, swirling with the power of time and space as it cuts through the clouds, tearing ripples visible to the naked eye. Its descent is as swift as falling leaves, yet it is almost inescapable in the eyes of the onlookers.

As the vine swept through the air, a vast and boundless spacetime realm appeared. The verdant vine disappeared into it, traversing countless broken worlds and celestial bodies, crossing distant spacetime scales and nodes.

Scenes from various universes flashed like slides, forming a backdrop for the slowly drooping vines, until they stopped on a verdant planet.

Before that emerald green celestial body, golden soldiers followed the horned warriors deep into the celestial body, their approach aggressive and clearly not just a simple visit.

"That's... the Land of Light?!"

Before they could react, the blue vine had already leaped out from the node of the spacetime boundary, drifting at a seemingly slow speed, outlining an unpredictable trajectory, and lashing straight toward Diablo.

In Diablo's eyes, the vine descended from the realm of time and space, swirling with the power of time and space as well as the power of the gods. It appeared slow, but it was extremely dangerous.

He instantly became serious, decisively stopped flying, and fled into the distance, pushing his speed to the limit.

Despite this, the slow-moving vine was still unavoidable, traversing vast distances of time and space, striking Diablo with a single blow. The surging power of spacetime and divine might erupted, drawing him out into golden light particles that dissipated.

In an instant, Diablo was killed, but the surging power of spacetime did not let him go. It entered various time points again, shattering him several times in succession.

His remaining life within the Heart of Absolut was constantly diminishing, and at each point in time he was constantly changing, scattering light particles that illuminated the starry sea.

In an instant, golden light illuminated the starry sky of the Land of Light, causing the soldiers who arrived to freeze in place and alerting everyone in the Land of Light.

At that moment, the people of the Land of Light in the other dimension erupted in anger, glaring at Tartarus and assuming a fighting stance, ready to fight him to the death.

At this moment, they had no time to be shocked by the terrifying power of the World Tree, which was blessed by the gods.

The scene unfolding in the World Tree's spacetime realm is quite clear: the Kingdom feigns agreement to negotiate with the Kingdom of Light, but launches an attack when some of the Kingdom of Light's powerful forces leave.

Even the Land of Light, with its boundless love, cannot accept such a thing, feeling that their emotions and experiences have been deceived.

Zero assumed a battle stance, transforming into his strongest form, and locked onto the stunned Tartarus: "As expected, I shouldn't have trusted you, senior!"

However, right opposite them, everyone, including the Titans and Tartarus, was stunned.

Attacking while the Land of Light was short-handed was not part of their plan, and Tartarus was equally furious about this, feeling like he was about to explode.

Diablo, it's you again!!

Tartarus was furious. He had been negotiating so well and was about to succeed when Diablo pulled a huge stunt on him.

Diablo usually gets nothing done, but this time he actually ruined negotiations that were about to be completed—it's simply unforgivable!

Behind him, the female warrior stared in complete silence at the vine that had returned to another dimension; her message was still too slow to be sent.

Just as Tartarus was enraged, Lumbert's voice came from the stone seat.

"Tartars..."

Tartarus turned his head at the sound and saw that Lombard had lowered his gaze slightly, his four blue giant eyes flickered slightly, and his voice sounded even more indifferent.

"I think you should have something to say to me."

From Longbo's perspective, Tartarus and the Kingdom did something very unethical.

He did not oppose the kingdom's attack on the Kingdom of Light, nor did he pay much attention to it, and had no intention of interfering.

However, Longbo could not accept that the kingdom had agreed to the negotiations he had arranged as an intermediary, but then launched an attack when the Kingdom of Light had withdrawn some of its fighting forces.

Attacking the Land of Light is acceptable, but not during these negotiations. That's Longbo's stance.

Although Luna also saw the bewilderment and anger on Tartarus's face.

But as the one who agreed to the negotiations, Tartarus needs to give Lombard a reasonable explanation.

Chapter 214 Negotiations Break Down, Alien Beasts

When Lumbini cast a scrutinizing glance at Tartarus, the air in the entire hall seemed to freeze, and everyone instinctively fell silent, as if all was still.

However, the people from the Land of Light also temporarily abandoned their idea of ​​fighting the Kingdom to the death and temporarily restrained themselves. Reminded by Longbo's voice, they also remembered that this was Longbo's territory.

Moreover, Longbo had recently helped the Land of Light avert a crisis of invasion by a kingdom, so they should not have a conflict with the kingdom here under any circumstances.

They exchanged glances, then stopped and waited for Tartarus's reply.

Under everyone's gaze, Tartarus looked up after a long silence and spoke: "This is not our plan. Although we have always wanted to obtain the Land of Light, we are negotiating here now."

“But I have no reason to launch a surprise attack on the Land of Light just because the Land of Light has transferred most of its personnel here.”

Tartarus knew that the negotiation was the best opportunity for a sneak attack, but he also understood that if he did so, it would mean that the kingdom would not only have to deal with the counterattack of the Kingdom of Light, but might even have an additional enemy. No one with a sound mind would do that.

Diablo is clearly not quite right in the head.

Tartarus had thought that Diablo, though not very bright, was at least able to weigh the pros and cons, but now it seemed he had misjudged him.

At this moment, Tartarus, the Titans, and the other elites all wished they could kill Diablo, the guy who had dragged them down at the crucial moment.

The female warrior was filled with remorse. She should have reported to Tartarus immediately when she realized Diablo had such thoughts, thus preventing the incident from happening.

But now that everything has already happened, it's too late to say anything.

After absolving Diablo of any responsibility for his actions and his negotiators, Tartarus looked solemnly at Lombre on the stone throne, abandoning his pride as one of the kingdom's most prominent figures, and lowered his head.

“I am sorry that this happened, but it was all Diablo’s reckless act. We had no intention of attacking at this time.”

"Therefore, I promise that if Diablo is still alive, I will personally arrest him and imprison him in the kingdom's prison."

"Unless the kingdom suffers a catastrophic disaster, or our king awakens and releases him, he will never have another chance to leave the kingdom."

Tartarus realized that the most crucial thing now was to appease Lombard, who was acting as the mediator.

The kingdom really couldn't afford to provoke such a powerful opponent again, so he made a new promise almost without much thought: "Lord Longbo, our kingdom is very grateful for your help. After this happened, once the kingdom returns to normal, we will do everything we can to make up for this mistake."

Tartarus adopted a humble attitude at this moment, allowing everyone to see his sincerity.

Lumbert did not answer immediately. In his view, Tartarus was indeed unaware of the situation and had given a sufficient response, so he could accept this explanation.

However… Longbo felt that at least in terms of his attitude, he couldn’t just let this matter go.

"Not enough, Tartarus."

"No matter what, it was a sneak attack that happened while your kingdom was negotiating here. This is not something that can be easily forgotten."

Longbo's indifferent gaze swept over the crowd before finally settling on Tartarus, and he uttered a curt sentence: "These are not enough to convince me."

Upon hearing this, the kingdom's elites felt a headache coming on, and once again cursed Diablo for his recklessness. If it weren't for him, the kingdom and the Kingdom of Light would already be at the stage of signing a ceasefire treaty and formulating more detailed cooperation agreements.

Tartarus sighed inwardly upon hearing this. Although Lombard was acting coldly at the moment, it was the kingdom's own doing, and they had no choice but to swallow it down.

He fell silent again for a long time, and finally gritted his teeth and replied, "After the kingdom is out of danger, if needed, the kingdom can temporarily become your vanguard."

This was the best answer Tartarus could come up with, but his condition was that the kingdom be out of danger. This meant that if Lombre wanted such a temporary vanguard, he had to ensure the plan would be completed.

In this way, the plan, which was on the verge of bankruptcy, could be given some guarantee again.

The other members of the kingdom who came to negotiate were shocked upon hearing this, but they could not utter a word of rebuttal.

Tartarus felt that he had never felt so frustrated since he became the de facto representative of the kingdom.

What made him even more upset was that this frustration was basically brought on by his own people.

"Foolish Diablo!" Tartarus cursed inwardly once more.

If Diablo hadn't acted recklessly, the kingdom's problems would have been resolved quickly!

Upon hearing this, Longbo felt that he could accept this explanation, and that was good enough.

But Longbo did not answer; instead, he turned his gaze to the Land of Light.

His meaning was clear: Tartarus had passed his test, but how the Kingdom of Light would explain it was up to the Kingdom itself to deal with.

Seeing this, Tartarus understood that at least the matter of Lombre was now a thing of the past.
